Sawmill Creek Golf Resort & Spa
About
Sawmill Creek Golf Resort & Spa is southwestern Ontario's premier golfing destination. Located just east of Sarnia and less than an hour from London, the golf course is a conveniently situated getaway that feels much further thanks to an idyllic location along the shores of Lake Huron. The course is a par-71, links-style design that is challenging enough for avid golfers but still playable for beginners. The gently rolling landscape was enhanced even further with the addition of more than a million tons of earth, which was carefully molded to look as though it had always been there. The meticulously crafted mounding adjoins the fairways, providing a continuous flow throughout the golf course. In addition to the mounding, golfers will also face large bunkers, tall fescue, bluegrass rough, and desert-like waste areas. It may appear daunting, but Sawmill Creek is not as tough as it looks.

Pleasantly surprised
I played this course in June of 2023. At this time it was in very poor condition. When I played it on May 23, 2024 I was amazed on how it improved. The tee boxes were in good condition and the greens were in very good condition also. The sand bunkers were playable but they needed work. Whoever is responsible for this wonderful transition should be very proud of what they have accomplished. Keep up the great work.
Trying
Sawmill is trying but the previous manager let it go so far down it will take a lot to bring it back. The new super is doing a great job with what he has
Course Improvement
This course ha greatly improved over the last few years. Hopefully they continue to bring the course back and clubhouse amenities.
Trying
Greens were good fairways still weedy but improved tee block show lack of upkeep but attempt was made. Clubhouse closed and deplorable while pro shop still has moldy smell. After years of neglect it is a good retrieval attempt
Good place to play for your money
Every time I go back is good to see the improvement they are doing
So poorly run
I used to be a member at Sawmill. Loved this course. Course sold and new owner ran it into the ground. Just called and let it ring many times with redial - no one answers. Course with unlimited potential that is run so poorly - a shame! Please sell the course to someone who wants it to flourish.
Not worth the money
Although the staff have made extreme improvements the course has a long way to go. The bunkers they dug weeds out of during the summer have regrown in with weeds (GUR does not even apply ) the fescue (weed Infected) has been cut but left with uncut grass.
The one staff member we met was great but careful. It is clear they are trying to make improvements but whether they are trying to bring the course back or trying to take as much money out of it as poosible before bankruptcy is unclear
Still needs work
The overall course conditions were good. Bunkers aren't playable yet, but better than my last round .. keep up the good work.
Looking up
Course conditions were better than expected based on reviews. There were no issues with playability, Enjoyed the links style layout and variety of holes. With continued improvement will be a desirable place to play. Got a great deal on golfnow, and would definitely play again. Yeah bunkers are overgrown but not a major issue, only a couple tee blocks need improvement. At current prices don't fret about playing you'll get good value. Not a difficult course to walk.
Improved
Course is improved after years of neglect, greens are in good shape, bunkers are grown over with weeds, fairways are in fair condition...the rough has been left to grow wild...don't even bother looking for your ball...all in all can't beat the price if you can keep it in the fairways & lift out of bunkers
Still needs lots of work, but getting better with new ownership.
